Australia / Re: Eva Ida GORRICK
« on: Monday 07 April 25 05:04 BST (UK)  »
I was researching on the Henderson-Masterton family line and descendants, came to this page.

Thought I would pop this information here that I found on TROVE about Eva's son, Laurence Gordon & his wife Violet ROBEY

Published 18 Sept 1917 The Inverell Times
The Horrors of War.
The horrible cruelties of this war!
Soon after it started, "Tim" Henderson, a Manly boy, was married to Vi Robey, of the family that has been associated with the Village nearly all its day. Then Tim went off to do his bit; and his little wife left for the other side to be as near as she could get. A few weeks ago Tim was sent back to Australia with an eye and a limb missing. His wife had to stay behind— she couldn't get a pass-
port, and she couldn't have travelled then even if the leave was given.
Now — trouble heaped upon trouble — word comes that the baby is dead —
'Bulletin".

Hello David,

Found this on the AWM website under their BCOF section

Already on this thread, a good deal of information you didn't have is now in your possession. Correct?

Sue
 

Within this thread, I was given two links. The information I have gleaned from those links, has come via my own efforts.[/] 

You haven't offered me anything concrete.

I am shutting down this thread.

I would think the experienced RChatters in here wouldn't be so silly as to dole out their own money for BDM records that don't pertain to their own genealogy...

You concern is duly noted.

I stated this in my first post which I'll repeat here as it seems to have been overlooked:

Since December 2008, I have been working on a Fletcher/Nicholson/Hook/Buchanan/Hoare/Pope tree at tribalpages.  Send me a PM for an invitation to view it.  There are a lot of other names as I've been working the marital connections and side-lines.

I did pay the fees to download the marriage certificate from BDM. 

Thankyou for your help, JM.

What is in no doubt, Jeanie Henry has been recorded in at least three different countries:

1860 Culnady Ireland
1897 Melbourne, Australia
1903 Pretoria, Transvaal Colony, Sth Africa

then she's back in Melbourne by close of 1903.

What was her usual address as per her marriage cert to Andrew? I had provided that
information.  Here it is again: Residence: Grey-street, East Melbourne, Victoria, Aus.

I'm very familiar with Grey-street, East Melbourne. My aunt lived there (she was Andrew's great niece) and according to the records of the East Melbourne Historical Society, there were several hostels, boarding houses, etc.    http://emhs.org.au/


Still searching on that Outward Passengers prov link and ditto with a re-marriage in Victoria. 


Jeanie could have had a second or even third child in Pretoria....the worms in this can just keep on getting wrigglier.  ::)

My ability to get to a public library to access their genealogy resources has become somewhat restricted due to illness, so I would really appreciate any assistance at this time.

Everyone, heads up: the above is what I wrote when I started this thread. I'm quite good myself at finding people on the flimsiest of clues and it is onerous to bring researchers in here up to speed; I'm starting to appreciate what I had been warned about with chemobrain. 

If I am coming across as cranky, then I apologise.


Sue,

I notice the slight discrepancy between the birthplace for Jeanie Henry as mentioned in the family notice I had sourced from TROVE and what appears on the marriage certificate itself:

Quote
BUCHANAN - HENRY - On 23rd December,1897
at Scots Church, Collins-street, Melbourne, by the Rev. Dr. Marshall, Andrew Buchanan, eldest son of Andrew Buchanan of Blackwood, to Jeanie Henry, youngest daughter of the late William Henry, of Culnady, Co Derry, Ireland.


From the marriage certificate, these are the details about Jeanie Henry:

Name: Jeanie HENRY
Spinster
Birthplace:  Culnady, Ireland
Occupation: Saleswoman.
Age: 37
Parents:-
Thomas Henry, Farmer
Jane Tomb

The two witnesses were from the Buchanan side who I had researched a few years back.

I caught of glimpse of this record that suggests this is elder sister of Jeanie, going by the mothers name, which stands out (at least to my aussie eyes).

That's all I can pull up with my old home computer with it's outdated browser and dial-up connection.  Cue the violins!  ;D

Thanks Sue.


Update:
Just checked the Probate documents that state Mrs Jeanie Buchanan (widow) was living in Douglas-street, Toorak Melbourne, from Sept 1903.  This street was also where Toorak College, a boys school from 1874-1918 was situated.  Her son, Andrew Henry Buchanan, may been a boarder there?

I do get that you are trying to help, Sue, however can you explain how including this information

Also, By whom married, where, and witnesses (in the presence of...)

will help to track how Jeanie Henry came to Australia or even her whereabouts after 1904?

Would you mind transcribing the complete details word for word.
It may help us in your queries.

Doesn't that violate some sort of copyright issue?
